Top 36 Fat Burning Foods

Fat burning foods is another idea that has come to prominence recently – and another one that I am questioning. Can foods really burn fat? Or is it just another of the many ways us humans like to kid ourselves that we can do something that would seem impossible, like eating our way into shape.

I can see why the idea has appeal. If only pizza was a fat burning food, eh? 🙂

Obesity occurs when the amount of calories consumed is greater than the amount used. It’s a simple and fairly mathematical truth. The body will store whatever it doesn’t burn off, as fat. The general theory behind this idea of fat-burning foods is that certain foods are reported to increase metabolism, causing the body to burn off more calories than it is consuming.

Sounds great in theory, but is it true?

I discovered a good list of claimed fat burning foods over at Bembu.com – yet I wanted to do a little homework to see if there was any science behind these ideas.

Rather than turning to endless “recycled” websites for the facts, I turned (as is my custom) to our trusty friend Pubmed – a repository of over 22 million citations and abstracts from medical and health journals. Let’s “drink from the source” wherever possible.

It turns out that there is some scientific evidence to support fat-burning foods.

One of the earlier works in this field that appears significant was a 1986 study that reported that “Since the time of Lavoisier it has been known that the ingestion of food in animals and man produces an increase in oxygen consumption. This increase in metabolic rate was originally called ‘specific dynamic action’ (SDA) and is now widely referred to as the thermic effect (TE) of food or diet-induced thermogenesis (DIT) (Rothwell & Stock, 1981).” [1]

(Lavoisier, in case you were unaware, was named the “father of modern chemistry” and lived from 1743-1794.)

The abstract from the above-mentioned study goes on to note that caffeine and other substances in tea and coffee could also have a profound effect on metabolic rate. (Hence, the recent wave of interest in green tea as a dietary ingredient!)

So there you go, it is not all hype! As for the rest of the ingredients in this list – well… they all look like fine, healthy foods to me and if you eat these, as opposed to packaged food, I don’t doubt you will be lean and glorious.

As to whether they have scientific validation as fat-burners: Now that I’ve shown you how I do my research… you are empowered to look up anything you want. Learn to use Pubmed and to understand the abstracts, they will serve you well.

This is especially important if you spend a significant amount of time sitting every day (I do, and this really affects me in a big way!)

An amazing discovery in an abandoned house in Austin, Texas: A lost book of amazing survival knowledge, believed to have been long vanished to history, has been found in a dusty drawer in the house which belonged to a guy named Claude Davis.

Remember... back in those days, there was no electricity... no refrigerators... no law enforcement... and certainly no grocery store or supermarkets... Some of these exceptional skills are hundreds of years of old and they were learned the hard way by the early pioneers.

We've lost to history so much survival knowledge that we've become clueless compared to what our great grandfathers did or built on a daily basis to sustain their families.

Neighbors said that for the last couple of years Claude has tried to unearth and learn the forgotten ways of our great-grandparents and claimed to have found a secret of gargantuan proportions. A secret that he is about to reveal together with 3 old teachings that will change everything you think you know about preparedness:

hi!
I have a skin tag problem or skin warts, they are too small and growing all over my body exceptmy feet
don’t you have home remedies in how to treat them or killthem from the inside for them not to grow any more and to kill those which are there?
